According to the Oakland Zoo, sun bears are the smallest of the entire family of species. They do not hibernate because of their tropical location in rainforests, which ensures an abundance of food throughout the year.

Sun bears build nests in trees, which makes sense as to why the big fella is hanging out in the hammock. These bears will typically spend the day sleeping and sunbathing in nests, which can reach as high as 20 feet.
